poor richie mathers, he's not that type of player.

A two match ban before round 1 even kicks off – is that a record?

Lol never thought of it like that, he's been banned for an action in a game that isn't due to be played for around 20 weeks (Challenge Cup fixtures etc). Surely this is unfair on the lad lol

And they're offence is deemed worse, much like the 'last man' rule in football. Holding down on the half way line or holding down when a player only needs to pass once 5 metres out to score has a different outcome.

Surely doing a 'Cantona' on an on rushing plsayer is worse than holding down on the half way line lol.

It is probably better for him to miss games now than at the crunch time really. But, in a way harsh. A tough one!

I blame his abundant skill, his amazing strength and his incredible courage for this complete and utter failure.

Remember you tipped Mathers as GB's best full-back too.

He was at the time....but lets face it, you could walk into a hospital ward and ask for the nearest amputee.....they could also claim to be better than any Pommy halfback running around.
